THE NEW OTTAWA.
Election of Officers of the New Conn
pany and Plans to Co Right
Ahead.


The people of Portland, especially those
who are most interested in the development
of the harbor and city as a summer resort,
will be glad to learn of the good prospect
that new Ottawa House will be erected
Immediately. The articles of incorporation
of the Cushing's Island Hotel and Trans
portation Company have been filed in the
Office of the Secretary of State at Augusta.
and the officers of the company have been
elected. Mr.. Frank A. Pitcher will be Presi-
dent Of the company and slso director. His
associates on the board are Messrs. Stephen
r. Small, d. w. Clark, George II. Knight
and Thomas Cushing. Mr.. d. w. Snow is
Clerk and Treasurer. The capital stock of
the company is $75,OOO divided into shares
of one hundred dollars each. The hotel
which the company propose to erect will
probably cost at least forty thousand dollars,
and will be one of the handsomest hotels on
the coast Of Maine. The location will be
the spot on which the old Ottawa House
stood, and the foundations were commenced
the first of last week, and about thirty men
are now at work. The managers hope to
have the contracts let in about ten weeks
The work will be under the superintendent
of Messrs Fassett & Tompson, the archi-
tects.
The improvements on the island which
were noticed early in the summer have been
continued this fall. The new roads have
been opened since the close of the summer
season, and six hundred trees have been set
out additional to those planted in the spring.
one-third OF the island is devoted to public
grounds and roads in the plan on which
these improvements are made. The hotel
will be the browning feature of the resort,
and it is matter of no small interest to Port
land. and especially to the islands and shores
near by, that immediate steps are being
taken to erect it. The new hotel will mean
not only more summer visitors of very de-
sirable class, but great advantage to the
region about Portland as a summer resort.

A Forebodlng of Winter

A large Arctic owl was captured near Fish
Point a few days ago, measuring about six
feet from tip to tip of its wings. 1t is sell
dom that this species of owl makes its an
pearance in this locality so early in the sea-
son, and as its presence is supposed to indi-
cate the approach of severe weather, this
early arrival is not without significance.
This fine specimen was purchased by Mr.. G.

The report that the steamer Oregon, of the
Dominion Line, foundered off the island Of
Anticosti is not credited by the AGENT Mr..
Clancy, of this city. Mr.. Clancy said to a
PRESS reporter in regard to the report: II
have received no news of any such accident

besides, she is commanded by one of the

Charles was in Chelsea, and he also learned
that this same Charles was the third man
who was engaged in the Cape Elizabeth cot

In Joint Convention.

Mr.. L. b. Smith, ex-president, in behalf Of
the Relief Association of the Portland Fire
Department, presenting their petition re-
questing that $500 be granted for the cree
ton of monument on the firemen's lot at
Evergreen Cemetery. he gave sketch of
the institution and of what it has done and
is doing, as stated in the address delivered
at the dedication of the lot. His appeal was
a strong one Alderman Smith asked how
much money the society had spent ON the lot
and Mr.. Smith said $500. He sug-
gested that the appropriation could
be taken from the unexpended balan-
ces at the end of the year, but thought it
unnecessary for him to advise the Council
since they could find way. Mr.. Hobbs said
he didn't think unless the money was grant,
ed by the City Government we could mort
gage the next one. The Mayor didn't think
this government could, but its action would
have great force morally on the next City
Government.
The convention then dissolved.

Catarrh

May affect any portion of the body where the mu-

S by far the most common, and strange to say,
the most liable to be neglected. 1t originates in
a cold or succession of colds, combined with i'm
pure blood. The wonderful success Hoods Sar-
saparilla has had in curing catarrh warrants us in
urging all who suffer with this disease to try the
peculiar medicine. 1t renovates and invigorates

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
PARK GARDEN.

BAhh HARDEN.
Manager Knowlton presents an entire new
company this week at the Park Garden, and
it is good one. The exhibition given by
the London -Ethescope Company furnishes
something for the curious to wonder about.
What it lis and how it is done is a mystery
1t seems to be an optical delusion of some
kind. Life like and speaking figures are
brought on the stage in a twinkling
and disappear as suddenly. The Death of
Little Jim contains five fine tableaux and
the Haunted House has many amusing trans
formations. 1t is a curious performance and
needs to be seen to be appreciated. Middle
toms Marionettes create lots of amusement
and Charles Blake and James B. Mack APP
pear in character songs. There are two sets
OF sketch artists, Huber and Allyne appear
ing in an odd sketch entitled Zone Nights
Rest" and the two Bees-Harry and Flora
giving their ALLY Sloper and Tootsie." The
attendance at the Garden is increasing every
week and the performances are now attended
by large crowds,
THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
Our readers will remember that the cele-
brated Boston Symphony Orchestra will APP
pear in the Stockbridge course tomorrow
evening and that they will be assisted by
Nine. Hastreiter, who was the leading con-
tralto Of the National Opera Company last
season. Ii therefore there are those VINO
nave not procured tickets for the course, but
wish to hear this splendid musical combina-
ton they should secure seats to-day at
Stockbridge's.
THE KINDERGARDEN.
The tickets for the Kindergarten will be
on sale at Portland Theatre to-day. The
New York News says: 'Such an array of
bright faces, sparkling eyes and open mouths
after the fun begins in the comedy, has
seldom been seen in theatre The laughter
begins soon after the curtain goes up and
never ceases until the play ends. The
musical portion is no small feature, the
songs being selected most happily to accord
with the story which is so cleverly told"
NOTES.
Nat Goodwin will be at Portland Theatre
on the evening of the 23d inst, and also on
day, the oath.
This evening at Kavanagh Hall an operet-
ia will be produced in aid of the coming st.

Mr.. MCGOWAN offered an order that street

ceded and concurred with the upper board.

Mr.. Edison is great man, but he is
not averse to swelling his reputation
for greatness by buncombe processes.
Upon his announcement of fresh dis
coveries it is always well to await a
searching test of practicability before
credence is given. For example, in
the matter of making use of electricity
as q motor there has hitherto been one
inseparable obstacle; it requires consid-
erably more motive power to produce
electricity than the resultant motive
power of the product. So far there has
been, therefore, an inevita BILE and in
variable loss Of power in producing
electricity for motor purposes, the only
advantage ever gained being the great
or ease and cleanliness of application.
Jules Verne, i'm his story of"A Thous-
and Leagues Under the Sea. "overcame
this difficulty by manufacturing cleo
tric1ty direct from sea water. That
was, of course, romance. Mr.. Edison
now proposes to manufacture electricity
direct from burning coal. We fear that
is romance also. Time will tell. If
the story proves to be true one. the
world of mechanics will be revolution
lied. 1t is not likely to be true.-C9n-
